Ailing dog Gustav gets his day in the sun

The young, stray dog suffered from mange and related infections. His skin was so compromised it came off in chunks if you touched him. The malnourished dog’s health was further complicated when his colon ruptured.

“He hasn’t given up, and I really think there’s a real chance we’re going to fix this dog.” she said.
